Special Needs: Abu is on medications and supplements: Galliprant 20mg ($30/month), Gabapentin ($20/2-months), Dasuquin joint supplement ($35/3-months), omega3 fish oil supplement ($25/2-months). He recently got his front right leg amputated and has arthritis in all of his other legs so he is undergoing physical therapy working on strengthening them without overdoing it! He also recently started a vegetarian dog kibble ($50/12-lb-bag) to try and get his allergies under control so that he doesn’t have to go to the vet every 6 weeks for an allergy shot.

Sponsorship Request: Although Abu has a permanent foster, he has alot of on-going permanent medical costs that TAP is providing for.  He needs 2 medications, 2 supplement, and vegetarian dog kibble daily to control his arthritis and skin allergies.  Because of his amputation and arthritis, he also needs recurring dog physical therapy.
If you find it in your heart to help out Abu financially, that will ensure he sustains a high quality of life.  A $30/month recurring donation covers half of his medications and supplements; $60/month covers them all.  A $165/month recurring donation covers his special food and all his medications and supplements.  A $150/month recurring donation can also offset his physical therapy sessions.
